About AppraisersBlogs

About AppraisersBlogsAppraisersBlogs is a comprehensive platform designed to serve as a centralized hub for news, insights, and perspectives from within the real estate appraisal industry. Recognizing the diverse and interconnected nature of the appraisal profession, the creators of AppraisersBlogs set out with the goal of aggregating content from a wide range of sources – including appraisers’ coalitions, professional organizations, individual appraisers’ blogs, industry newsletters, and even appraisal software developers. By bringing together this wealth of information in one convenient location, AppraisersBlogs aims to keep appraisers and other real estate stakeholders informed and up-to-date on the latest trends, best practices, and critical issues impacting the field.

Beyond simply curating external content, AppraisersBlogs also provides a valuable outlet for appraisers themselves to share their unique perspectives and experiences. The platform welcomes contributions from real estate appraisers of all backgrounds, allowing them to voice their opinions, analyze key industry developments, and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the profession. This collaborative approach ensures that AppraisersBlogs serves as a dynamic, multifaceted resource that reflects the diversity of viewpoints and expertise within the appraisal community. For appraisers who may not maintain their own blog or lack the time to do so, AppraisersBlogs offers a convenient alternative, empowering them to make their voices heard and engage with their peers on critical issues. Whether an appraiser wishes to provide commentary on market conditions, offer practical tips and insights, or simply make an important announcement, the platform stands ready to amplify their message and foster meaningful dialogue within the industry. Through its comprehensive curation of content and openness to diverse contributor perspectives, AppraisersBlogs has established itself as a valuable hub for the real estate appraisal profession, serving as a vital resource for professionals seeking to stay informed, connected, and engaged.

AppraisersBlogs does not make a habit of censoring language or even passionate disagreements. We ask posters to be civil but ultimately it is the collective conscience of the blog readers and commenters that set the tone. This is a public forum. We try very hard to follow the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution though we have and will debar purely disruptive entities after explaining WHY. Post at your own risk of rebuttal.

We encourage readers to engage with one another in a respectful manner, even when they fundamentally disagree with the opinions or perspectives being expressed. Rather than resorting to the all-too-common tactics of personal attacks, name-calling, or other toxic behaviors that can quickly derail a constructive dialogue, readers are instead urged to challenge ideas and viewpoints through civil, measured discourse. The goal is to maintain a professional, courteous atmosphere akin to what one might find in a workplace setting or formal organizational context, where disagreements are aired through reasoned arguments and evidence-based reasoning rather than inflammatory rhetoric laced with vitriol and ad hominem jabs. We strongly discourage snide, rude, or unconstructive comments. Such comments do little to further the discussion and instead serve only to alienate other participants. Avoiding this type of unproductive discourse is essential, as it can severely detract from the overall quality and productive nature of the exchange.

Establishing and consistently upholding norms of respectful, intellectually-grounded engagement is crucial. This approach helps foster an environment where diverse perspectives can be thoughtfully explored and debated, rather than descending into the acrimonious shouting matches that often dominate public discourse, especially around politically-charged topics.

It’s important to recognize that in many cases, politics and policy assessments are inextricably intertwined, making it exceedingly difficult to have a truly nuanced and comprehensive discussion about appraisal-related issues without also addressing the underlying political context and ideological frameworks that inevitably shape and inform such evaluations. Maintaining a civil, reasoned tone in the face of such complex, emotionally-charged subject matter is no easy feat. Our goal is to elevate the overall quality and substance of the dialogue.
